Executive functioning as a skill, emotional regulation.
Positive communication and I connected that both with social relationships and also um, you know, other situations where just communicating is important.
Self-directed motivation, so kind of self-regulation with motivation, and then and then self-advocacy.
And one of the things that I found as I was going through this was I actually, as I listed those, you heard I did I listed self-advocacy as the fifth item.
But when I wrote the book, I actually put that as the first chapter as of skill-based portion because self-advocacy is so important for neurodivergent kids.
And this is where
When they have a level of self awareness about what their needs are.
Going back to what we were talking about, like it's not about changing behaviors.
It's about un helping kids understand themselves so that they can navigate the world in a way that works for them.
Like for me as an ADHDer.
I understand what the accommodations are.
that work for me.
And sometimes I have to ask people to
modify things just as far as like what time of day.
Like I I just kind of know like at some point I'm not gonna have the the focus to do do certain tasks.
So I advocate for those things.
But if I didn't learn how to self advocate, if I didn't learn how to effectively recognize my needs,
Understand who to ask, understand how to ask.
you know, I I would really be struggling much more.
And so um I think self-advocacy is something that we can really help our kids.
